Re: TC Plethora X5
Looks great. Like really great. Only downside is that it looks like to move to the next ‘pedalboard’ you have to triple tap a foot switch. That is going to be a right pain in the ass in the middle of a live gig. SO you will need a midi switch to make it usable

Re: TC Plethora X5
in between songs it would be fine though? how often would you need to change 5+ pedals mid song?even with my OTT meglomania ive never had to do that

Re: TC Plethora X5
I have a pedal with Toneprint. Over the first month I eagerly sampled prints.
And then never gave it another thought.
Does anyone else find the toneprint website really difficult to hear samples?

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: TC Plethora X5
It's more a way of working that I'm used to than a full on need to switch a million pedals.Kris wrote:in between songs it would be fine though? how often would you need to change 5+ pedals mid song?even with my OTT meglomania ive never had to do that
I have my Nova System set up with three presets
1) Clean-ish with spring reverb
2) Dirty-ish
3) Lead
but each one has different effects linked to it. The Clean-ish patch has detune, tremolo, analog delay which I can add in on or take away. The Dirtyish has detune, fake rotary, tape delay. Lead patch has phaser, digital ducking delay and a octaver.
So to recreate the same thing with this new TC pedal, I would need to switch between 3 pedalboards somehow

Re: TC Plethora X5
ah i see-but im sure you'd be able to swap behaviours somehow.Like how you can reconfigre what the mash button does or the knob functions/ranges.Plus you have external loops which can be footswitch controlled as well.Sometimes with these types of units the functionality is as important as sound quality,esp if you have a setup that works and is familiar.

Re: TC Plethora X5
yeah, i'm sure i could work something out. Anyway, I'm going to check this out. I really like my TC Nova system, but it's a pretty old now and I'm slightly concerned that it will die on me one day.
Re: TC Plethora X5
Honestly I'm pretty excited about this. When I look at my board at the moment, I could quite comfortably replace most of it outside of the dirt pedals with TC alternatives with no regrets. And the insert loop seems like it would happily accommodate my current chain, and would make it easier to mess around with ordering + add a few things. Count me in.

Re: TC Plethora X5
I can't see the point of releasing an all-in-one pedal like this - but having no drives. I know we all have our favourites - but surely TC could have had a go?
Am I reading that wrong?

They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.
